It's paperback day! And if Lady Justice tried to map the theory, women around the country have proven it: Midterms. Michigan abortion ballot initiative, Ohio abortion ballot initiative, Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. If I could add new chapters they'd include Fani Willis and Tish James and Ketanji Brown Jackson and you out there organizing and voting. My publishers would appreciate it if you'd buy the Barbie pink paperback for every college and law student you know. xoxo

My current reading.

My wife did not have to ask how frequently I think about the Roman Empire. She knows.

Made me smile
now it's your problem

The term "enshittification" coined by Cory Doctorow earlier this year finally has an official German translation:
"Verschlimmscheißerung."
You can thank me later.

In the #CryptoCurrency world, it's hard to tell a scam from a non-scam.

The operational dynamics are identical.

The only difference is how quickly you realize your money is gone.

If you’ve ever said,

“I’d like someone to explain quantum superposition to me, but in an airplane, between ATC calls and clearances,”

have I got a video for you!

@disappearinjon @pluralistic Companies that halfass/enshittify a solution have more money to spend on marketing to convince everyone it was a success.

I regret that Elonthradiel was the first to be consumed by The Torment Nexus, shattering his soul into a billion billion shards and providing the catalyst for the return of Tzaunh MAY HIS REIGN BE DARK AND ETERNAL. He would be proud of what we built.

My take on what’s happened since then is full of lived nuance.

Like seemingly everyone on this app I have plenty of opinions about the launch of The Torment Nexus, the opening of the Xthonic Gateway, and release of the arch-demon Tzaunh MAY HIS REIGN BE DARK AND ETERNAL, who has begun his foretold 10,000 years of suffering and torment. I figure now is a good time to open up a bit about my experience at the company.

A lot of CS undergrad programs have a "business of computing" course that teaches the basics of entrepreneurship. I've never seen one that included lessons on labor rights or that explained how big firms abuse near-monopoly positions through e.g. regulatory capture. If you have, I'd be grateful for pointers - thanks.

Trial done and in the hands of the jury.

Ineffective attempts to impugn my testimony. Hints to anyone acting as an expert witness:

1. Don’t be an advocate for anything but the truth
2. Be scrupulous about telling the truth, including “I don’t know” when appropriate
3. Put in the work to be sure of your conclusions
4. Don’t work for weasels or trolls.
5. It’s not your money at stake, so see #1-4.

Actually, 1-4 are good advice for all of life!

read up on the 'non-human alien corpses' shown to Mexican politicians yesterday, and big deal, here in the United States many of our actual serving politicians could be described as 'non-human alien corpses'. Next.

I got my COVID booster yesterday, along with an RSV shot.

The improved 5G coverage and ability to see into the ultraviolet are real benefits. I can’t wait for the welcome gifts from the Illuminati.
